Neural network
Title: Neural network

Contact: Dr Jon Heras

Description: Neural network. Computer artwork of several nerve cells (neurons) forming a neural network. Neurons are responsible for passing information around the central nervous system (CNS), and from the CNS to the rest of the body, as electrical impulses. A nerve cell comprises a central nerve cell body surrounded by numerous extensions. Most of these are dendrites, which collect information from other nerve cells or from sensory cells. Each neuron also has an extension called an axon, through which information passes outwards to other cells, including other nerve cells and muscle fibres. Dendrites and axons meet at junctions known as synapses (glowing).

Serotonin Reuptake
Title: Serotonin Reuptake

Contact: Sara Krause

Description: This figure demonstrates the actions of the serotonin neurotransmitters (D) and the SSRI drug molecules (P). Serotonin passes from the vesicles (A) of the presynaptic neuron (G) where it is produced across the synaptic cleft and into the receptors (E) of the postsynaptic neuron (H). Once the serotonin binds to the receptors, a flow of ions is released creating a nerve impulse. Reuptake of serotonin occurs when some of the serotonin that is passed from the presynaptic neuron is recycled back into that neuron (see upward arrows and F). SSRIs (P) block this reuptake by blocking the channels (B) which allow for this reuptake of the serotonin (C). This increases the amount of serotonin in the synaptic cleft that can bind with receptors on the postsynaptic terminal. (Text adapted with permission from Dharmananda.)
